Sky-Watcher AP 150/1200 EvoStar ED OTA Apochromatic refractor

Apochromatic Refractors stand out for their pristine, unobstructed diffraction patterns, delivering the pinnacle of optical imaging quality without compromise, regardless of aperture size.

The premium Evostar-150ED Apo doublet incorporates a carefully engineered combination of one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element and a precisely matched crown element. Each optical surface of the air-to-glass objective lens receives sophisticated anti-reflection metallic coatings, optimizing light transmission to nearly 99.5%. Sky-Watcher's exclusive "Metallic High-Transmission Coatings" (MHC) set the standard for photon anti-rejection coatings in their category.

The Evostar-150ED is provided without eyepiece, finderscope, and star diagonal.
